Pawan Negi was once a hot property in the IPL. The Delhi all-rounder fetched a mind-boggling amount of ₹8.5 crore by Delhi Daredevils at the IPL auction 2016. He also made it to the national side that year. However, his performance in the IPL since then has been underwhelming to say the least.

Negi has been part of the RCB squad since 2017 but he hasn't done anything noteworthy for the side. Despite playing just 2 games last year he was retained by the franchise. It was time that Negi repay the faith put in him by delivering a strong show. But unfortunately, he failed both with the bat and ball.

Surprisingly, Negi was persisted in the playing XI in 7 matches. He scored just 9 runs in these 7 matches at an average of 2.25. Negi's bowling wasn't great either as he took just 3 wickets at an economy of 9.13 runs per over. RCB might finally run out of patience and drop Negi in IPL 2020.
